About Me
Hey, I'm Joseph Kariuki! I'm a software developer from Nairobi, Kenya. Welcome to my space in the world wide web for my projects, tutorials, my rumblings and musings to show the world. My motivation for developing this site is to share what I've learned with the world and self documenting content, and hopefully connect with some people. The projects page highlights some of the open-source projects I've made, and the articles page contains some content that I've written. I also have external publications on YouTube and in Dev Community blog etc. and have done some showcases and trainings, some of which you can find below.You can contact me via contact and say hi! I always appreciate networking.
I'm currently
- Sharpening skills in Python and JavaScript
- Creating content on my YouTube channel
FYI
- I have an educational background in Geospatial Engineering and have worked in that career which influenced my transition to developer.
- I participated in the Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) for Europe in Paris, 2017 which sparked my interest in open source software development and communities.
- Some of the books (non-tech) that I have read are The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Corvey, and Everything is F*cked by Mark Mason.
